About Me

Hello!!  


Welcome to Amy Brown Science!  I am delighted you stopped by my blog for a visit.

If you are curious to know a little bit about me, read on.  If you hate looking at other people's photos, you better head back to the home page. Quick!


I have over 30 years of teaching experience in a large public school system.  My high school has an average population of about 1800 students. From year to year, I have taught Standard Biology 1, Honors Biology 1, Standard Chemistry, Honors Chemistry, Biology II, and AP Biology. I love them all!




Teaching high school science is fun, fun, fun!  
My love is the laboratory, and I have my students in the lab as much as possible.  


My students excel on end of course exams and the AP Biology exam, for which I am very proud, but my greatest joy in teaching is that moment when I realize I have turned a kid on to science!  I get very excited when teaching, and nothing beats seeing your students getting excited along with you.  I am thrilled when my former students return home from college and tell me how much my class has helped them.

Outside of teaching school, my interests are many! Things I enjoy include:  Traveling, anything that occurs outdoors, hiking, gardening, reading, visiting a museum, and restaurants!

My teaching career has been successful, and I have enjoyed every minute in the classroom, but the thing of which I am most proud is my family.  I have been married to my wonderful husband for 32 years, and we have two absolutely incredible daughters.  I thank all of them for indulging me as we waded through swamps, searched bogs for pitcher plants, hiked farther than anyone wanted to go, snorkeled in freezing water ....

Whenever I get "itchy" to get outside, they gladly put on their hiking boots and say, "What Mom adventure are we going on now?"


A special tribute goes to my Mom.  She was a biology teacher before me, and she is responsible for all that I love about nature and science.  She is the yardstick by which I judge myself, and I can only hope that I have measured up.


And, finally, here is just a small glimpse into some of my favorite places.  I have been lucky, indeed!

  3. Amy, thank you for sharing a little history about yourself and your passion as a teacher and naturalist! I smiled as I saw your pictures and think about how I too do the same with my daughter, trying to show them how beautiful and interesting the natural world can be! Thanks to your mom for showing you the way :) Happy Teaching.

  4. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! We are homeschooling, the reasons are many but I have a daughter (15) who is doing Biology and I want her to have as much laboratory experience as possible. I was looking for a substitute for phenol red indicator to test her DNA and I came across your page. RED CABBAGE?? Who would have known. We are giving it a go. I love science!

  5. Amy, I am having soooo much fun working on your Cell shirt. I'm really trying to personalize it for you. And as I read about you I think to myself, "We are kindred spirits" with so much in common!
